Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing
- 3/4 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 1/2 tablespoon honey

Preheat the broiler.

Line a broiler pan with foil and lightly brush with olive oil. Whisk 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon vinegar, the honey, red pepper flakes and 1 teaspoon salt in a small bowl.

Put the salmon, skin-side down, on the prepared pan and brush the tops and sides with the honey glaze.

Meanwhile, put the garlic on a cutting board and sprinkle with a generous pinch of salt, then mash into a paste with the flat side of a large knife.

Heat the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil and 1 tablespoon vinegar, the olives and garlic paste in a small saucepan over medium-high heat until bubbling, about 3 minutes.

Transfer the mixture to a bowl and add the tomatoes, celery and mint. Season with salt and toss to combine.
